RE: Florida Pruduce Stops
I saw one on a secondary road that specifically included pick up trucks on the sign. One day when I wasn't in a rush, I stopped and talked to the officer and they were more concerned with folks who had aux fuel tanks, filling up in the 'wrong' state.

RE: Snowbird rates
At the park where I'm currently staying (like many parks in FL), they publish low season and high season rates. Low season is $460/month plus electric. High season is $825/month (includes electric).

RE: Lousy Customer Service
Hello navy AZ1-
Thank you for taking the time to let us know of your situation and my sincere apologies. I have forwarded this to my executive team and requested that we have someone reach out to you. Thank you and have a good day!

OMG, do they actually teach you at CW to tell someone who is obviously very irate and disgusted with your lack of customer service to have a good day?

RE: Any experience with rvinspection.com
...You are throwing money away on an inspection company that guaranties nothing for the money you spend and who is credentialed by another company with no real history and/or accountability.
Yep, the owner of that other company is the same guy who runs workamper news. Looks like same business model, different clientele.

RE: Workamping question
I workamped for the summer at a KOA in upstate NY a few years ago. One of the other workamper couples got cable internet hooked up at their site so the wife could do her medical transcription work at night. May not be available at all campgrounds but if it's possible, they'll do it for the right price.

RE: Applying for Unemployment Benefits
I think the program varies by state. Here in FL (and probably many other states) you're automatically disqualified from unemployment if you only work seasonal jobs. I suppose the rationale behind that is you knew going in that the job would end on X date. Have you checked the state website for their requirements?

RE: not so fantastic vent
This is a stupid question, but have you bothered to call the factory? Fantastic Fan is the poster child for what customer service is supposed to be.
They used to be but not so much anymore since they were bought out by Atwood.
Actually, I just called them last week. They are still very helpful even though some warranty terms have changed.

RE: Lake Okeechobee campground recommendation
Here's one of my favorites: http://fisheatingcreekoutpost.com/default.asp, as long as it's not a holiday weekend - then it gets very crowded and loud. Plenty of room for your RV.

RE: Black Tank Problem Keystone Montana
Many problems with black and gray tanks are caused by traveling with the tank partly full. The bouncing and sloshing of the liquids stress the tank and its mounts. Water weighs 8 pounds per gallon so you can do the math to find out how much weight is moving around in that tank with 10 gallons in it.
I am not saying this is your problem, just mentioning it for the many who will visit this thread due to having a similar problem.
Always drain all gray and black tanks before hitting the road. You can always add water at your destination.
If that's the case, why don't we hear of more FW tank failures?

Tax friendly states
For those of you choosing a domicile based solely or mainly on the state tax rates, Kiplinger released a list of states and their 'tax friendliness' to retirees. I just stumbled on it today but it was released in Sep 2014: http://www.kiplinger.com/tool/retirement/T055-S001-state-by-state-guide-to-taxes-on-retirees/index.php

RE: I TRIED TO GIVE CAMPING WORLD MY MONEY
I sent you the private message with my info
You should be requesting compensation for evaluating their problem areas. You already purchased your new RV someplace else. What else can CW do for you?
